Rage and the Goddess: When Anger Becomes Sacred Vision
In this episode, I explore what it means to see clearly in a world that often does not want to see.
I weave together personal stories of rage and anger and share the story of Cassandra, the woman who was never wrong yet never believed. I will talk about what that pattern feels like in the body and in everyday life. Living in the suburbs, raising children, and moving through a culture that feels disconnected from the earth, I speak honestly about the tension of holding truths that are not always welcomed.

We move into the deeper teaching that anger is not a problem to fix but a message to listen to. Through the story of Demeter and my own experiences, I reflect on what our anger might be asking of us and how we can begin to work with it instead of pushing it away.
Alongside these stories, I share three plant allies that support this process:
- Blue Vervain for the nervous system that is holding too much
- Black Cohosh for diving into the subterranean subconscious and ancestral patterns of darkness and rage
- Dandelion for helping the body move and transform anger into something life giving.

I also introduce the Black Madonna as a symbol of the dark knowing feminine, the one who has sat in grief and come through with clarity and strength. I also share some practical ways you can sit with your own darkness and “basement material” to see what your anger is trying to tell you.
This episode is an invitation to return to yourself in small, tangible ways. To sit with what you know. To honor what you feel. And to begin the healing process from within.
If you are someone who feels deeply, sees clearly, and is learning how to live with both, this space is for you.
